Everytime I try to print using Adobe Standard 8, I get a double image on everything except page 1

From page 2 on, it has the basic shape and spacing of the pages, but all the text comes out with garbage letters and overstrikes.
I would attach an example or paste a snip, but this window won't accept it.
However, when I block copied the garbage text from the PDF and pasted it below, it came out in English with some weird spacing in the middle of words, but I could read it. It's like the second page is using a different alphabet for printing.
This is not new, but when I've needed to get a PDF of what is on screen, I've had to use MS Internet Explorer or Google Chrome. I've used the same Adobe 8 for years to create PDFs from Firefox, and it worked up until about a year ago. It still works fine to create PDFs from everything else, so I think the problem is something that changed in Firefox with one of the updates, or I hit something I didn't intend to hit that made this change in my set up.

Hello.
It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem is not disappears when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.
If it's not a problem with an add-on, please try reinstalling Firefox. No data will be lost. You can get the latest version at [http://getfirefox.com getfirefox.com].
If that doesn't help, have you checked to see if it's a problem with your printer's drivers? Installing a different printer and trying that one should shed some light on that. It doesn't need to be an actual physical paper printer, a PDF printer, for example, will do perfectly.

  • How do I remove top and bottom margins when printing using Adobe Acrobat XI Standard.

    How do I remove top and bottom margins when printing using Adobe Acrobat XI Standard. (I selected 'Fit to scale' and there's a huge gap on the top and bottom).

    Those margins are usually reported from the printer settings to Acrobat. Meansif you have, for example, an inkjet printer and that printer can not print seamlessly, then there will be a minimum margin.
    Check your printer's page settings.

  • How to enable frontend printing using Adobe Print Forms

    Otto Gold at the forum "SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe" gave me the tip that Sandra Rossi in this forum might help me out. Here is the link to my original thread How to enable frontend printing using Adobe Print Forms
    My question was:
    Hi Experts!
    Did anyone of you manage to enable frontend printing using Adobe Print Forms? In order to save administration effort we use frontend printing in our ERP system. We just changed some SMARTFORMS to the new Adobe Forms technology. Now we learned that direct frontend printing does not work with these forms.
    Any help will be very much appreciated.
    Kind Regards,
    Gerald

    I think you'll be disappointed by a rather negative answer but I'll try to explain everything I know (or think I know) the best I can
    The simplest solution is to do a preview, and print from Adobe Reader! (as I could see on one project, users have to display one more dialog than usually to print) It's the best workaround according to me.
    How Adobe form printing works:
    When you print an Adobe form from SAP, a printer language (PCL, PS, ZPL, PDF) is retrieved from TSP0B table according to the device type, ADS (Adobe Document Services, installed in the SAP java stack) is then contacted to generate the form: a file corresponding to the printer language is generated and sent back to SAP (there are also 2 other little files but it's of none interest here). SAP stores it as a file (named SPOOL...) in the global directory (DIR_GLOBAL when you use AL11 transaction).
    When you ask SAP to print it, it sends the file as is to the printer.
    Note: when you ask SAP to display the spool, SAP sends a request to ADS which will send back a PDF (binary stream which is not stored on disk, just displayed on frontend).
    How frontend printing works:
    If you want to print a normal spool via frontend, SAP doesn't know the language of the printer you will choose. SAP sends the spool in a format named SAPWIN to a frontend program named SAPLPD, it converts the SAPWIN format into GDI, a Windows format that is understood by all printer drivers, and it is sent to the printer driver (you have selected) which converts the GDI format into the printer language.
    Any workaround?
    First possibility would be that ADS converts the PDF into SAPWIN format (by creating an Adobe .XDC file at the ADS side). SAP says it's not possible in Note 685571 - Printing PDF-based forms. As I understand, SAPWIN is a very simple language compared to PCL for example, so it is very difficult to convert a PDF to SAPWIN without losing much information. There's a SAP note about the SAPWIN language if you want to check.
    Second possibility is to print directly the PDF through Adobe Reader: you get the PDF from ADS, download it to the frontend (easy), and execute directly Adobe Reader print function. Unfortunately, I don't know if it's possible. Moreover, we should enhance the standard SAP print dialog...
    Third possibility is the one I recommended at the beginning of this post

  • Pages Crashes Everytime I try to Print

    Sorry, I have all kinds of problems, don't I?
    My macbook (which is posessed, I swear) consistently crashes everytime I try to print the document I need for tomorrow on Pages. Any other Pages document will print just fine, but this one document always results with the same message after I try to print:
    The application Pages quit unexpectedly after it was reopened. Mac OS X and other applications are not affected. Click Try Again to temporarily restore the applicaton's default settings and open it again. Click report to see more details or send a report to apple.
    I've tried copying and pasting it into blank documents. I've tried copying a single page from it into a blank document and it still crashes. I've tried resetting the computer. I've tried repairing disk permissions. Can anyone please help? This paper is due tomorrow!!!
    Thanks,
    --Jenny

    Hi Jenny
    Firstly, back your document up - pronto!
    Do you use footnotes/endnotes in your document?
    If so, it may be that you have a reference in the main text area but a blank footnote/endnote to go with it. There is a bug in Pages that causes it to crash when printing documents that have them.
    One other thing you can try is to print the document from another user account on the same machine.
    Also, try exporting to a pdf and ask a friend to print it on another computer - the footnote bug will cause this to crash too.
    Good luck on meeting your deadline!

  • Adobe plugin removed. Defaults set to Adobe Standard. I get Firefox demand to install plugin. How can I force Adobe to use Standard?

    Adobe Reader won't open certain (large) Adobe files.
    > I set all Firefox defaults to Adobe Standard. Firefox still uses Adobe Reader.
    > Uninstalled Adobe Reader. Uninstalled Firefox Adobe plugin.
    > When I try to open an Adobe File, Firefox now says to install Adobe Plugin.
    ... catch - 22.
    What can I do to force Firefox to use Adobe Standard? (none of the moderator solutions appear to work)

    RESOLUTION (seems not logical, but this worked):
    Firefox would do nothing other than ask me to install the Firefox plugin for Adobe, which I accepted. This process leads to re-installing Adobe Reader. After installing Adobe Reader, all of the defaults that I previously had set to use Adobe Standard were re-set during the Adobe Reader installation to use Adobe Reader interally in Firefox.
    After re-installing, I was able to load the document that previously I was unable to load (using Adobe Reader inside Firefox). I changed all of the Adobe defaults (under TOOLS/OPTIONS) to "always use Adobe Standard" instead of "Use Adobe Reader (default)". I was then able to open the document using Adobe Standard.
    It appears that the following process solved the problem:
    > uninstall Adobe Reader
    > reinstall Adobe Reader (and the Firefox Adobe plugin)
    > change the defaults from "Use Adobe Reader (default)" to "Adobe Standard [release number]"
    Note: I have Firefox 21.0 installed, and Adobe Reader XI 11.0.3 installed prior to, and after, this issue.

  • I am trying to print using adobe reader and i can't. this hasn't happened before and allstate doesn'

    i am trying to print using adobe reader and suddenly, i can't. please help.

    Might be helpful to have more details like, what version of Reader, where you are getting the PDF's and what "exactly" happens when you try and print (along with the steps taken to get to that point). And it sounds like Allstate has something to do with it. Might be helpful to know where they come in.

    Is the calendar available with this version of Adobe Standard? I know with Adobe Reader 7.0 it is, but we have to use Adobe Standard 6.0.3 and I would like to make use of the calendar.

    The calendar control was only implemented for windows in the AcroForms plugin for Reader 7. There is no alternative in 6.x.

  • Is it possible to print using Adobe CreatePDF Desktop Printer from a pdf file ?

    Hi,
    I have a pdf file and I want to print using Adobe CreatePDF Desktop Printer so that the file to be uploaded to https://cloud.acrobat.com. Is this possible  ? Right now an email is received that "Adobe PDF Pack could not successfully convert your file filename.pdf to Adobe PDF. Your uploaded file type is not a supported format. Or pdf file type is not supported ?
    Thank you

    Hi adelon84,
    If the file is already a PDF, you can upload it directly to Acrobat.com. Just log in to your account at https://cloud.acrobat.com using your Adobe ID and password, and click the Upload File icon (the cloud with an arrow), navigate to your PDF file, and click OK!
    (Once a PDF, no need to convert to PDF again!)
    Best,

  • When I try to print using Windows 2008 print server I have to use the generic print drivers supplied. If I use the OEM driver the printer locks up. I have tried a HP 4 plus and a Canon Copier.

    When I try to print using Windows 2008 print server I have to use the generic print drivers supplied. If I use the OEM driver the printer locks up. I have tried a HP 4 plus and a Canon Copier.

    A number of vendor drivers written for OS X cannot be used when connecting via SMB to a printer that is shared by Windows. This is due to limitations of the driver.
    In some cases, if you were to enable the LPD Print Service in Windows, you can connect to the share using the same syntax as SMB but on the Mac you would use the LPD as the protocol.
    If you can reply with the brand and model of printer you have then we may be able to provide more information.

  • When I try to print pictures from Iphoto 11 I get a message saying no themes are installed and I cannot print. This never happened on previous versions of iPhoto.

    When I try to print photos in Iphoto 11 I get a message saying there are no themes installed and it will not let me print. This never happened in previous Iphoto versions and there is no link to get themes. How can I get these themes?

    Reinstall.
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

  • I've installed Mountain Lion. When I try to print on my Epson R3000, I get a notification of a problem for rasteroescpll.  How can I correct this?

    I installed Mountain Lion.  When I try to print on my Epson R3000 I get a notification that rastertoescpll quit unexpectedly.  How can I fix this?

    Sorry but that's the very driver that I think caused my problem and I'm assuming Elstel's. Yes it's an Epson Stylus Photo R3000. From the posts I've read the new driver is faulty. Driver V9 seems to work temporarily with my Mountain Lion 10.8.4. It worked perfectly when I set up my new printer and installed the provided software. When I started the day to day suddenly it wouldn't print and I had the rastertoescpll error. My assumption is that my "automatic updates" setting updated the software over night and then it woudn't work. I then tried your link from a previous post and installed that upgrade. No change. I've only been able to print this afternoon by re-installing the printer with the provided disk. If  pixies come during the night and I wake up tomorrow morning with that error message again, after screaming, I will then use my TM to go back to where it worked! Very confused. I was really hoping that Yuengdog1983's solution for the others would have helped me but as I said I've always had my computer named.

    I uninstalled the driver, installed it (from the HP website latest driver), I'm able to get the printer to work on everything else, I'm able to print a test page, but... I can't print anything with Adobe Acrobat...........
    Any suggestions?  I do use Adobe Acrobat Reader a lot

    OK, let's try more thoroughly uninstalling the hp software for 10.5 using the 'scrubber' option.  First, install the wrong software from the CD (for 10.5) so we can more thoroughly uninstall it.  Next:
    Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard/ click on HP Uninstaller
    Click on Continue
    Highlight your device on the left pane
    Hold the Ctrl, Opt and Cmd keys and click on Uninstall << This is the scrubber option
    There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall ALL hp software. (At this point, if you continue, any HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
    Click Continue and let it finish
    Restart your Mac
    Now, run a Software Update.
    Finally, download and install the "Full Featured" Driver and Software from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page.
